My pot would have to be 3x its size to fit the amount of water a single package of pasta says I should use.
1kg to 10l
Do you have a bathtub in your stove?

No, but 1kg of pasta? Are you feeding a battalion?

Definition of battalion

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

I usually make food for a few days

[-] pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 4 points 10 months ago

Then investing in a large pot would make sense.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 0 points 10 months ago

I have one though

Only the best musicians blame their pot.

TBF, pot has played a big role in the making of some great music

As others have already said, that is a lot of pasta. If you regularly cook volumes like that, it would really make sense to invest in a large pot as well. A cheap 10l pot will do just fine for boiling pasta, and it sounds like you would get plenty of use out of it.

1 kg of dry pasta is enough for 10 people! Do you often cook for that many people? (Genuine question)

[-] Redjard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 10 months ago

Not in my experience, I usually count 200g per person

[-] Rinox@feddit.it 6 points 10 months ago

That's a LOT of pasta per person. Not unheard of, but still a lot

Me going through this thread

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

That'd be two people, five meals each so a few days. That's how I usually do it

[-] OhmsLawn@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

This is making me chuckle, because I just did this last night for a dinner party. It was a hell of a lot of pasta for 7. I kept it moving, even in my big stock pot. Only a few strands stuck to the bottom. We have leftovers.

I usually cook a quarter of that for the two of us, sometimes half if I want to eat for a couple of days.

2lbs/1 kg is a lot.

[-] Skua@kbin.earth 3 points 10 months ago

I do have a 10 L pot, I use it for making stock and beer

[-] SolarMonkey@slrpnk.net 1 points 10 months ago

I have a 12 gallon pot I use for the same.

If it didn’t have the spout off the front I’d probably use it for a lot more stuff like huge batches of chili (for canning). I end up using multiple pots for that instead because I don’t want to have to clean around the dumb thing.

But the drain tube makes it soooo easy to strain the broth.
